淀粉样蛋白-β肽(a β)由疏水的c端结构域(29-42残基)和n端结构域(10-24氨基酸)组成,其序列允许α-螺旋和β-链之间存在动态平衡。本文通过对含有单氨基酸取代的类似Aβ肽的研究,分析了不同n端构象对淀粉样蛋白纤维形成的影响。通过傅里叶变换红外光谱和圆二色性测定,缬氨酸18向丙氨酸的单一突变诱导a β α-螺旋含量显著增加,并通过浊度、硫黄T结合、刚果红染色和电镜检查显著减少纤维形成。在遗传性荷兰脑出血合并淀粉样变性(阿尔茨海默病的一种变体)中,谷氨酰胺取代22号位置的谷氨酸降低了β n末端结构域采用α-螺旋结构的倾向,并伴随淀粉样蛋白形成的增加。我们提出Aβ存在于两个物种之间的平衡状态:一个“能够”和另一个“不能”形成淀粉样蛋白,这取决于n端结构域采用的二级结构。因此,用促进α-螺旋构象的治疗性化合物操纵a β二级结构可能为控制阿尔茨海默病患者观察到的淀粉样蛋白沉积提供了一种工具。
Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) consists of a hydrophobic C-terminal domain (residues 29-42) that adopts β-strand conformation and an N-terminal domain (amino acids 10-24) whose sequence permits the existence of a dynamic equilibrium between an α-helix and a β-strand. In this paper we analyzed the effect of the alternate N-terminal conformations on amyloid fibril formation through the study of the analogous Aβ peptides containing single amino acidic substitutions. The single mutation of valine 18 to alanine induces a significant increment of the α-helical content of Aβ, determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism and dramatically diminishes fibrillogenesis, measured by turbidity, thioflavine T binding, Congo red staining, and electron microscopic examination. In hereditary Dutch cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis (a variant of Alzheimer's disease), the substitution of glutamine for glutamic acid at position 22 decreased the propensity of the Aβ N-terminal domain to adopt an α-helical structure, with a concomitant increase in amyloid formation. We propose that Aβ exists in an equilibrium between two species: one “able” and another “unable” to form amyloid, depending on the secondary structure adopted by the N-terminal domain. Thus, manipulation of the Aβ secondary structure with therapeutical compounds that promote the α-helical conformation may provides a tool to control the amyloid deposition observed in Alzheimer's disease patients.
